"There is No 'I' in Town." - Steven Lee Mitchell

In addition to Steven (class of '03), his three older sisters ('96, '98', '00), parents ('69, '70), and grandmother ('46) all graduated from Herndon High School. Over the years, Steven experienced many enhancements to the town as it grew larger than the stories he had always heard from his family and friends. The few farms he recalled were gone, and neighborhoods were rapidly forming. The next thing he knew, there was a brand new Municipal Center and a beautiful Fortnightly Library in the reinvigorated downtown. Even though he was a child at the time, he remembers acknowledging how the town's growth was providing more opportunities to him than were available for his parents and grandparents.

​Steven knows from a firsthand experience where the Town of Herndon is coming from during this time of pivotal growth opportunity. His lifelong relationship with the Town gives him a unique outlook on the present future and fuels his passion for the proper management of our downtown revitalization.
